Golden soup is a nutritious and delicious meal that combines the earthy flavors of cauliflower and turmeric with the creamy texture of cashews. This vibrant, golden-colored soup is not only pleasing to the eye but also packed with health benefits. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, paired with hearty cauliflower and rich cashews, makes for a perfect comforting meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion and cauliflower into small pieces.
- Mince the garlic.
- Measure out the olive oil, cashews, turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice.
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes until translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped cauliflower and cashews to the pot.
- Stir in the 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the 8 cups of water.
- Add 2 teaspoons of salt and stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Once the cauliflower is tender, remove the pot from heat.
- Carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. If using a regular blender, blend the soup in batches to avoid overfilling and potential splatters. Return the blended soup to the pot.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the golden soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a pinch of ground black pepper.
Enjoy your delicious and nourishing Golden Soup!
Tips:
- Pre-soak the cashews: Soak the cashews in water for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. This will make them easier to blend into a creamy consistency.
- Use fresh turmeric: If possible, use fresh turmeric root instead of powder for a more vibrant flavor. However, adjust the quantity as fresh turmeric is more potent.
- Blend carefully: When blending the hot soup, ensure you do it in batches and allow steam to escape to avoid any kitchen mishaps. You can also use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Add garnishes: Top your soup with some fresh herbs like cilantro, a squeeze of lemon, or a dash of pepper for added flavor.
- Adjust consistency: If the soup is too thick, add more water or vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency.
This Golden Soup is a wonderful dish that showcases the delightful harmony of flavors and textures. It's a nourishing and satisfying meal, whether you are looking for a warming bowl during colder months or just a wholesome dinner option. Follow these simple steps and enjoy a delicious bowl of golden goodness.
